Journal ArticleDOI
Pressure and volume in the first law of black hole thermodynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass of a black hole is interpreted as being the enthalpy, with the pressure given by the cosmological constant, and a virial expansion is developed and a van der Waals like critical point determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cosmological constant and black-hole thermodynamic potentials
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermodynamics of black holes in various dimensions are described in the presence of a negative cosmological constant which is treated as a thermodynamic variable, interpreted as a pressure in the equation of state.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cosmological constant and the black hole equation of state
TL;DR: In this article, the thermodynamics of black holes in various dimensions are described in the presence of a negative cosmological constant which is treated as a thermodynamic variable, interpreted as a pressure in the equation of state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamic Volumes and Isoperimetric Inequalities for de Sitter Black Holes
TL;DR: In this article, the thermodynamics of rotating and charged asymptotically de Sitter (dS) black holes were studied using Hamiltonian perturbation-theory techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compressibility of rotating black holes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the compressibility and speed of sound of the black hole in the case of a non-positive cosmological constant and showed that the adiabatic compressibility vanishes for a nonrotating black hole and is maximal in the extremal case.
